As winter sets in and the holiday season approaches, it’s tempting to ease up on training. However, for tactical and military professionals, fitness is a year-round commitment. While others may indulge in holiday feasts and take time off, someone, somewhere is actively working to outpace you.
Winter isn’t a time to “hibernate” or fall into a “dirty bulk” routine. Instead, it’s an opportunity to maintain your physical and mental readiness. Stay consistent with your workouts, focus on recovery, and take time to fine-tune your strength and endurance. Use this slower season to prioritize long-term goals and get creative with training, even if you’re away from the gym.
Leaders set the tone for their teams, so lead by example. Staying disciplined during the quieter months ensures that when the next challenge comes, you and your team are ready.
For cold-weather activities like rucking, the “Be Bold, Start Cold” approach helps prevent hypothermia by minimizing insulation at the start. This avoids trapped sweat, which can dangerously cool the body. Key to staying safe is a layering system: a moisture-wicking base, an insulating middle, and a weather-resistant outer layer.
Qore Performance’s ICEVENTS® technology enhances this system by promoting omnidirectional airflow, enabling sweat to evaporate quickly and preventing moisture buildup. Unlike traditional foam, ICEVENTS® is lightweight, hydrophobic, and anti-microbial, offering optimal ventilation and comfort in extreme conditions.
